Storm

The storm clouds are gatherin'
I think it’s gonna rain
The thunder and the lightning
Will burn away my pain
Your phone call surprised me
You called out of the blue
Now the memories, they flood me
And I drown in thoughts of you
I stare out of my window
Onto the street below (I think it’s gonna rain)
The brightness of the street light
Like a thousand candles' glow (will burn away my pain)
What have you done to me?
There’s something not quite right
You gave me the darkness
While you took away the light
I’m haunted by the specter of
A love that’s been and gone
A ghost that creeps around inside my head
When I’m alone
I know that you’ll be here tonight
Because I’ll see you in my dreams
So I’ll drink a toast to you, my girl
To try and silence the screams
Now the rain drops are fallin'
The tears that I would cry
If I had any left
The wells have all run dry
I’ll sit here at my window
and watch the world move on
And try to kid myself
That you aren’t really gone
I’m haunted by the specter of
A love that’s been and gone
A ghost that creeps around inside my head
When I’m alone
I know that you’ll be here tonight
Because I’ll see you in my dreams
So I’ll drink a toast to you, my girl
To try and silence the screams
